A. A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief
B. How Great Thou Art
C. Sweet Hour of Prayer
D. Onward, Christian Soldiers
Answer: A. A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief
"A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" is a very moving song about Christ. Especially fitting was verse six: "In pris'n I saw Him next, condemned, to meet a traitor's doom at morn. The tide of lying tongues I stemmed and honored him mid shame and scorn. My friendship's utmost zeal to try, He asked if I for Him would die.
The flesh was weak, my blood ran chill, but my free spirit cried 'I will'."

Jesus Christ performed many miracles. Perhaps, which is the greatest miracle of all?
A. Jesus Calms a Storm on the Sea of Galilee
B. Jesus Feeds the 5,000
C. Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
D. Jesus is Resurrected from the Dead
E. Jesus Heals a Woman with an “Issue of Blood”
D. Jesus is Resurrected from the Dead
Perhaps the greatest miracle in all of human history is Jesus Christ’s Resurrection from the dead (see Matthew 28:1–7). As the son of both God and a mortal mother, Mary, Jesus Christ was the only person who ever lived who had both the ability to die and the power to take His body up again (see True to the Faith [2004], 16). Like other Christians, Latter-day Saints believe that because Jesus Christ triumphed over death, you, your family, and everyone who has ever lived on the earth will one day be resurrected.

Yes - he said it !!

13 And it came to pass that I beheld the Spirit of God, that it wrought upon other Gentiles; and they went forth out of captivity, upon the many waters.
4 For it is wisdom in the Father that they should be established in this land, and be set up as a free people by the power of the Father, that these things might come forth from them unto a remnant of your seed, that the covenant of the Father may be fulfilled which he hath covenanted with his people, O house of Israel;

Christ's resurrection ensures that all of us will live forever as resurrected beings. What did Christ do that we may also live forever with both He and our Heaven Father?
A. He atoned for our sins
B. He died on the cross
C. He taught us the gospel
D. He was baptized
Answer; A. He atoned for our Sins
Only He could redeem us from our sins. God the Father gave Him this power (see Helaman 5:11). The Savior was able to receive this power and carry out the Atonement because He kept Himself free from sin: “He suffered temptations but gave no heed unto them” (Doctrine and Covenants 20:22). Having lived a perfect, sinless life, He was free from the demands of justice. Because He had the power of redemption and because He had no debt to justice, he could pay the debt for those who repent.
